Aaliyah-JaNAY "AJAY" WILLIAMS
(SHE/THEY) PRONOUNS
Thank you so much for browsing my portfolio!
My origin story starts in Richmond, Va.
I grew up, admiring and watching shows, about people I could never relate to. I found myself with misguided aspirations, wanting to idolize these people not understanding the true value of my own identity. As an adult, I aim to create films for communities and bodies that have been significantly underrepresented within Hollywood narratives. It is my mission to celebrate, incite, and promote intersectionality. The filmmaker's goal is to connect to others using film, and at the base of that connection, is understanding humanity itself.
While I am a filmmaker at heart, other passions include writing. photography, and content creation. In my spare time, I love writing various pieces, including novellas/short stories, web series, tarot readings, and connecting with others like me--who share a mutual goal of implementing art for change.
So far, I’ve been blessed in developing my career. Past my own sets, I’ve had a chance to collaborate with beautiful, talented independent studios like mine, which have awarded me grants and recognition beyond my imagination. Even being here is support for my brand—thank you for your time; I genuinely appreciate you being here.
While I am no longer located in my hometown, I am currently living with my husband, mother-in-law, and our beautiful three pet children: Mushu, a Siamese/Tabby mix named, Sammie, an orange tabby, and Lenny, a rambunctious yet sweetheart Pit Bull Terrier mix.
Feel free to message me with inquiries about any of my writing, film, and/or photography services. Rates are always negotiable.
Within the depths of my gratitude,
'ajay' williams.
Thank you!
